Unfortunately not really much to do with the French Revolution, but The Crimson Petal and the White, by Michel Faber, is a delicious faux-victorian novel set in the Edwardian era. There are a lot of depictions of clothes and of lifestyle throughout various echelons of society.
I know it's a very common pick, but did you ever pick up Baroness Orczy's The Scarlet Pimpernel? (This one is definitely French Revolution related, at least, with a Royalist take on the events.)
Alexandre Dumas' Twenty Years Later deals with events preceding the French Revolution. Chanderlos de Laclos' Dangerous Liaisons deals with that period as well and is heavily centered on lifestyle and intrigue.
Off the top of my head, that's all I can come up with. I hope this is helpful.
